Defiance woman killed when 22 year old crosses centerline
A Defiance woman was killed in a two vehicle accident on route double-D in St. Charles County, last Monday.
The Missouri Highway Patrol reports 55 year old Diane Fulkerson was killed in the accident. Traffic crash reports indicate a pickup truck being driven by 22 year old Steven Hicks of O’Fallon was traveling east on route double-D when the truck veered across the centerline and collided with Fulkerson’s westbound car. Hicks sustained minor injuries along with a passenger in Fulkerson’s vehicle, 33 year old Peter Adams of Wentzville.
Drivers who lose control of their vehicles are legally responsible for the results of their reckless driving. When a loved one passes away as the result of someone else’s negligence, there is usually a claim for wrongful death. If you have lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence you should contact a qualified personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
